Quick report

Cracking
specific

With questionable ski and avalanche conditions unfolding we changed our objective for the day and went to see the Red Rock slide and watch the show from a distance. Very supportive thick crust in the morning began to crack around skis starting at mid day. Heard many releases as the slopes warmed up and were able to see quite a few slides on the south flanks of Stanton and Vaught. Traveling out a variety of new small crowns were present in the afternoon.
